There are two absolute truths in life, they say: death and taxes. There are also a million other challenges and problems along the way that prevent the forward look. It is inevitable that you will experience adversity at times and you will do so repetitively through life. Looking back to evaluate what went wrong is second nature, but it should not destroy a positive anticipation of a better future to come.
How do you learn to anticipate the future with positivity? To see things in a better light? You can mouth the words, but action speaks louder. You can get advice and counseling, but you must do it yourself in the long run. You alone are the answer to disappointment and depression.
The first rule of the road is to avoid bad people and situations. If you can't, assess why and move on. There is a root to every problem, and we learn from our previous mistakes. We might think that acceptance is enough, but it is not. You need to change patterns of behavior. You need to know how to progress and not stagnate. You need to look ahead and not back forever.
Yes, you have to avoid the same mistakes and that takes reflection. But the outcome of your pondering should influence what is to come. You can come up with suggests for improvement and coping next time. The past is done and gone. You can make amends to people negatively affected, but you need not dwell on atonement. It will erode self-confidence. Speak your mind and move on.
Change. Do not act as if nothing happened. This is the same as staying at square one. You did something wrong and something nasty happened. Evidently, something in you needs to change. It may be a habit, your whole schedule, or your whole outlook in life. Whatever it would be, change it within you and do it fast.
People are the bane of our existence. Alas, we have to admit it is true. We need and love them, of course, but they can cause immense grief in our lives. Bad relationships have to be broken and new ones perpetually formed. It is within all of us to heed these wise words and comply.
Find mentors and guides through life who will help focus your thoughts and attitudes. You want strong people who have insight and wisdom. We all have possibilities among our friends and colleagues. It could be a family member, a pastor, or a priest. Use these connections to advance your life and they will help keep you on a solid track.
Prayer is last but not least in our list of suggestions. It can take a big load off your mind. It will give you strength and endurance as you move forward through life. Make it a good habit and a regular concern. There you go for the grace of God.
